Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 42.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
14 of 24 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.80 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 30 matches (0.80 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 20 catches + 4 stumpings + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.83 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.50 per match at 16.9, economy 5.07, strike rate 20.0.
